Jacob Green ought to be in the discussion too. Sacks weren't even an official stat until his third season, so he has 18.5 unofficial sacks on his record. Despite having played in an era when running was more important and passing less important, Green racked up as many sacks (including the unofficial ones) as Von Miller has so far in his 11-season career.

Green is one of my all-time favorite Seahawks, and one that really does deserve HoF consideration. An example of an all-time fave who isn't even close to the HoF is Zorn, my first childhood sports hero. I wore a Zorn throwback jersey when I went to my first Seahawks home game in 2019 (I had been to Seahawks games in Foxborough in 1984 and 1986), and I sat below the sign representing Jacob Green as a member of the Seahawks Ring of Honor. Just as I noticed the Green sign, it got awfully dusty in what was then CenturyLink Field.

I too loved Jacob Green and was always one of my all-time favorites.

Agreed. I had thought he was already in. He definitely should be.

And they both were two of the very best ....especially John L when you add his pass catching and running. Strong was like another lineman, with a name that fit his game
John L is still 11th all-time in running back receptions.

Dave Brown and Jacob Green are the first 2 that come to mind. John L Williams should be considered as well.

How about Norm Johnson who at one time held the Seahawks point scoring record. Moved to the Falcons and did the same there.

Has any other player set that record at two teams?
